WHO Jordan Leslie, Alex Daniels
BROADCAST Fleetwide video!
LOCATION The lovely Marsiva!
WHEN February 2nd!
[ The feed doesn't kick on until one of them is moving. Two separate people on Marsiva's hospitality deck, one clean cut and dressed in a rather sharp business suit while the other looks a bit rough and tumble in his polo and jeans and multiple piercings in his eyebrow, cartilage, lobe, etc., but they seem to have come together after waking. Jordan, the clean cut one, has his arms around Alex, the rough but handsome one who looks STARTLINGLY FAMILIAR, from behind and a head on his shoulder. ]
What the fuck—?? Get off of me, stupid fucking pixie.
No. I'm looking at something. [ And it's true, he has his head tilted and a hand comes up to hold Alex's ear aside, and Jordan just huffs lightly before he lets go and holds on tight. ] How long were we asleep?
I don't care, leave me alone. [ Alex just reaches up and smacks Jordan's hands aside and growls. Not a very pleasant one, this guy is. ] What do I look like, your goddamn wristwatch? I have no fucking clue.
[ Jordan ain't even bothered. ] Are you hungry? Has it been long?
Ugh, I'm fine. Maybe if you stopped messing with my ear, you'd fucking notice this.
I've already stopped, sugarplum.
[ And he just finally looks around and. what. what is this place. where are they. ] The fuck are we? Hey, pixie bitch, the fuck did you take us? [ BECAUSE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY JORDAN'S FAULT, RIGHT? ]
... Alex, we've been here since we woke up. You know as much as I do, so why don't we look around together? [ Meaning he isn't letting you go, so there. ]

[says some pale, good-looking guy on the other end of the video feed.]
video
[Bristle bristle. He's not cute, Robin. :| ]
video
[he says this with a slowly-spreading grin. he hasn't heard anyone talk like this in a while...]
video
[Finally, somebody who speaks his language.]
video
[he almost giggles. it's all in good fun.]
Welcome to the jy'bin'm Drift Fleet.
video
[Well, Alex definitely seems more upbeat.]
I'm not even gonna fucking pretend to be glad I'm here and the fuck kind of name is Drift Fleet? That's the lamest name I've ever heard.
video
[this might be the start of a beautiful friendship.]
Yeah, the name doesn't exactly inspire fireworks? And the management is off it's fucking meds. Frankly, I think starting off pissed off is the way to go.
video
Yeah, I can see the nothing, asshole. Do you even fucking eat or do you just gnaw on rocks?
[Congratulations Robin, you now have +1 friend.]
That's a worse fucking name than Survivor and that sounds like a fucking two year old came up with it. Are those shitheads brain dead or what? This is like the worst goddamn idea. I mean, reality shows went out of style years ago with MySpace and bullshit like that.
video
Oh, Tega... My people are proud rock gnawers, don't knock it 'till you've tried it.
Anyway, you got to a point where I've got no idea what you're talking about. I'm not from whatever shitty backwater planet you crawled out from.
[oh nevermind I guess he found his insult.]
video
I'd rather get my teeth pulled out again than lower myself to chewing on rocks.
Lucky bastard, you should be glad to not know about that shit. Lowest form of entertainment and all that. And shitty backwater planet is like the fucking trailer part of the universe, I swear to fuck. Nobody can outdo them on being assholes and fucking idiots.
[Oh excuse me were you trying to insult him.]
video
Wow, you... really did my job for me, there. All right. Case fucking closed. Is this Earth again?
video forever;
[ Even if they'd hardly look like a couple if Jordan wasn't practically hanging off Alex right now. ]
no subject
[...yeah nevermind that he was really obviously just swearing at your boyfriend; he sounds perfectly polite and amicable here.]
no subject
The Drift Fleet. Is that what this whole thing is called? Not Space Race or Ship Trip or anything like that?
no subject
I myself have often thought that "The Great Space Race" is such a delightful and missed opportunity for syllabic harmony. But like I was telling your boy, whatever is in charge of this little operation seems a bit... unsound.
no subject
How do you mean? The idea itself is brilliant, in... some ways. Most ways. Not enough.
no subject
Well, our hosts frequently lie, misdirect, and aggravate the fleet as a whole. Our existence as some "great program" has been a mystery to every form of sentient life we have come across thus far, and as of late, it seems like someone might be in competition with Atroma for control over this operation.
That said, it could also all be a brilliant ruse to make us all paranoid and fun to watch. [he shrugs.] The journey is young. I can't say for sure.
no subject
Ah, the intrigue of not being allowed behind the curtain. How young are we talking here?
no subject
About four months. This is supposed to last one "Cycle", though no one has any clue how long that is.
no subject
After the month has been passed, the next assumption would be a year. Possibly half-year depending on whether they observe solstices here. [ He shrugs. ] But there is a... planned end, at whatever rate?
no subject
[maybe those records are fabricated. he doesn't know. but if he goes on doubting every single sketchy thing they run into around here, his whole universe will be unstable.]
